Inside a triangle ABC, a straight line parallel to BC intersects AB and AC at the points P and Q, respectively. If AB = 6PB, then PQ ∶ BC is _________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5:6.
AB = 6PB
Also , AB = AP + PB
6 PB = AP + PB
AP = 5 PB
Hence , = =
Now using Rule, If a line intersects sides AB and AC of a Δ ABC at P and Q respectively and is parallel to BC, prove that = =
So , =
